Question: ( 1 0 - 4 ) The radiator of a steam heating system has a volume of 3 0 L and is filled

\(10-4\)
The radiator of a steam heating system has a volume of 30 L and is filled with superheated water vapor at 300 kPa and \(200^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). At this moment both the inlet and the exit valves to the radiator are closed. After a while it is observed that the temperature of the steam drops to \(80^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) as a result of heat transfer to the room air, which is at \(24^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). Assuming the surroundings to be at \(0^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), determine (a) the amount of heat transfer to the room and (b) the maximum amount of heat that can be supplied to the room if this heat from the radiator is supplied to a heat engine that is driving a heat pump. Assume the heat engine operates between the radiator and the surroundings. Ans: (a)78.09 kJ ,(b)278 kJ
